When did you realize that you were old?

[The Larch]

I could check any of those boxes, but I don't really feel old. Besides obvious physical issues IMO it's most about attitude. There are people in their 20 that are old people at heart and there are people in their 30s and 40s who still feel good about their age and get out and do stuff. It's one thing not being young anymore, but that's different than being old.

I like the presumption in the poll that all Languishites regard themselves as old. 

Drunk poll-making FTW!!!

Besides, I remember feeling "old" when I was 18. It was really just oldER but I still remember it.

When younger people start using the formal personal pronoun when addressing you, it's terrible

Some punk-ass ~25 year old called me sir at the grocery store last weekend.  I was not pleased.

At the same lunch place, I've been greeted with "What up, son?" and "What can I get you, honey boo?" I wasn't pleased either.

Sitting in a 400 level political science course, and realizing that the instructor and I were the only ones that remembered the Reagan Administration.

I get that all the time. Especially when the high school students are taking the course.

At least they didn't mistake you for Honey Boo Boo.

I think that would probably be a bit hard.

Sooo, when you were 20?

30 was a snap.  I had finally felt like I had everything in order.  Job I was doing well at (started at Crown's office at 29), had met a wonderful girl who I would eventually marry.

Two years ago I started feeling "old".  NUmber one of course was having a kid (and then two), and all of those responsibilities.  In 2010 suddenly people born in 1992 could vote, by alcohol, and be charged as an adult.  That's the year I graduated high school, which only feels like a moderately short time ago.  Hair is going more and more grey, but that's never bothered me (as long as I have it, and so far I'm good).

For the record, most bald men are sexy.

Hair started thinning.....body doesn't heal like it used to.  Knees and back ache constantly, but that's the army's fault.   I've always been old at heart, though.

I dunno, your old blonde feminine pics wouldn't make it that much of a stretch.

That's definitely false.
